60 Business Administration Purpose The Department of Business Administration seeks to prepare Christian young people for a variety of careers in the competitive world of business and/or for graduate studies. The program offers a healthy combination of the liberal arts and professional skills in order to develop the intellectual capacity, ethical imagination, seriousness of purpose, and attitude of service which are essential to persons assuming the responsibility of leadership within the business community. On this Biblically-integrated foundation, we construct academically sound business majors to prepare Christian business personnel for God-honoring vocations. We seek to develop a wide range of student competencies, including all the technical skills offered in leading schools of business. The business curriculum has been carefully developed to emphasize the entire spectrum of business concerns in a balanced program that combines theory, principles, techniques, and practical applications to enhance graduates' employment opportunities or to provide a solid foundation for graduate studies. The department seeks to build upon the fundamental Christian liberal arts foundation established in the general education requirements of the College to present a value-centered curriculum that applies Christian principles to the private enterprise system as well as other public and nonprofit economic systems. This is accomplished through a continuous curriculum review and a highly competent faculty who combine academic expertise with professional experience in industry.
